First off I want to be upfront in that I am NOT asking for medical advice on this post. I'm asking what people who may have been in a similar boat have done.
Ok so last weekend I don't know what I did but I did something and managed to get a pinched nerve in my shoulder that sends pain all the way down to the tips of my fingers. Today (6 days later) my index finger is numb. I called my doctor to make an appointment and went in. She said "pinched nerve & lets get you in to the chiropractor" but unfortunately that won't be until next Thursday. She did give me a prescription for naproxen and Voltaren to "ease the pain". Unfortunately it isn't doing shit for me. Have any of you guys ever get a pinched nerve & if so how did you go about stopping the pain it caused?
